So.. Can someone tell me WTF is up with this game now :)

The problem is that A LOT of children play our game, and there is no way to guarantee that "2 mature people" are actually 2 mature people.

But if they're both participating in the conversation and neither one is complaining? I can understand getting rid of the pervs who are Pming unwanted messages. But if both people are equal participants in the conversation, and no one else is hearing it, what's the harm?
Seems to me that private messages should be left to each person whether to report or not. Public chat is a different story.

Still a bit creeped out about pms being read through without being reported. Do you guys read our forum pms as well?

ummmm... im 13 and i go to a private school. in 2nd grade i knew about sex and stuff so did every other person in my grade. by 4th grade we all knew about 95% of everything and this is a private catholic school so there is nothing bad that is going to happen having kids hear all the stuff on pl. i promise.

They're protecting their interests. Even if both participants are "willing", it's sketchy for an adult to have "inappropriate" conversations with a minor. It just leads to problems. Even if it is within private messages, the medium is maintained by STS. With the anonymity of the internet, there is no way to guarentee someone is who they say they are. Chat can lead to other things, and STS is just being proactive in protecting their product and customers.

^^^ The devs understand why we are so upset. But the point of all of this extra precaution that they are using is that they don't want to be sued! Last thing any company needs is to find themselves in court with a tainted child and p***ed off mother wanting every single dime they have for not protecting her child. (Yeah sounds unlikely, but look at the fool woman sueing McDonalds right now!)

Can you make a mature server please. :P

Free character transfers too.

Solves all the problems. The user must agree that they are 17+ to access the mature server. Chat filters on the are less restricted on that server.

Also this could prevent nerd wars. ^_^ lol

Nah shes still haunting the game in a long lost hidden charecter . I just think its sad that she got perm banned for the small thing she did, especially considering that she has spent money on this game. Personally I think the devs need to be less harsh on players who have spent money on the game. Its pretty clear that Mike can get away with almost anything for purchasing 40k platinum .

I'm pretty sure if I was a dev, I would rather not ban of a paying customer to protect some 9 year old kid who is most likely not even gonna contribute a cent to the game.

This is exactly why there must be strict enforcement.

Um why? She basically just said that theres nothing more she can learn about sex from this game since she knows a lot already.
